We've been having a lot of fun harvesting our garden this year. We've had a lovely little crop of cucumbers...but not enough to justify actually canning them.
So I went to Pinterest and found a recipe for refrigerator pickles in my Things to Eat pinboard!
Instead of only using quart jars we've saved a couple of actual pickle jars and reused those to keep our homemade pickles in! Here are the pickles before we added the brine....
And here they are after!
I added a little mustard seed to the recipe...and in one of the jars I also added some red pepper flakes for my hubby.
These are very flavorful and soooooo easy!! The finished pickles have been crunchy...and super yummy!!! This recipe is definitely a 'keeper!' The recipe made almost a full quart of extra brine...so I stuck in the fridge, and we'll use it as we need to to make more yummy pickles!! We may even try 'pickling' some other veggies, too!
